FBI’s House Cleaning

At least 6 FBI agents are out of a job after working on the Trump classified documents case. This move comes after FBI Director Kash Patel revealed that his phone records, along with those of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, had been subpoenaed. It’s worth noting that Patel’s announcement to Reuters seemed to trigger the firings.

What’s Behind the Firings?

The exact reasons for the firings aren’t clear, but it’s likely that the agents’ involvement in the subpoenaed phone records played a role. It’s a pretty big deal when the FBI director’s phone records are subpoenaed, and it won’t be a surprise if more heads roll in the coming days.
